The funny thing is, if you've ever imagined what it might be like to be your intended user trying to *use* the thing you're designing, you've done persona-based design. Period. That's all it is. The "method" is just the formalized cruft that's accrued to this very basic, intuitive act of design.
Methods are just formal structures to help us along, not laws to mindlessly follow. But imagining what it's like to be a person you're designing for -- that's pretty essential; and it's something that's important to do well, no matter what method you might use to get there. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
